Introduction
The infrastructure workspace provides a comprehensive view of all resources available in your managed environment.
The Resource details screen displays real-time monitoring of your entire infrastructure, including network devices, cloud services, dedicated hosts, and containers in orchestrated environments.
The Resources tab shows you a complete inventory of resources in your environment. You can also view a graphical representation of your resources in dashboards. For more information about inventory widgets, see Dashboards.
The Resources page includes the following sections:
- Menu: Lists available options in the Infrastructure Workspace.
- Resource Categories: Shows resource categories, discovered resources, and unmanaged resources. Numbers indicate the total count for each category.
- Availability Status Bar: Displays the availability status of resources.
- Search Bar: Provides search options.
- Settings: Allows you to add, delete, or assign monitoring templates for resource categories and individual resources.
- Resource Display: Shows resource details.

Monitored resource data
OpsRamp displays monitored data for resources across various locations. Data collected within the past week shows the most recent timestamps and values.
The Infrastructure → Resources → Overview screen displays the last monitored time.
The resource overview screen displays values based on the following scenarios:
View Last Monitored Time
The last monitored time displays only data from the past one week.
| Callout | Scenario/Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Resource created within the past one week and monitored successfully. | Last updated value (date and time) |
| Resource created more than one week ago and monitored successfully. | Last updated value (date and time) | |
| Resource created within the past one week but not monitored. | Empty | |
| Resource created more than one week ago and not monitored. | Data not available for more than one week |
The last monitored time also appears in these locations:
- Resources → Attributes screen: Navigate to Infrastructure → Resources → Attributes.
Resources → Monitors → Monitors tab: Navigate to Infrastructure → Resources → Monitors → Monitors tab to view Last Monitored At (IST) values.
VMware resources: Navigate to Infrastructure → VMware → vCenter → Compute → Datacenter → Cluster → Host → Monitors → Monitors tab to view the last monitored time for the VMware host.
Uptime
When an Uptime monitor is applied to a resource, the system.uptime metric data from the past one week is retrieved.
The resource overview screen displays values based on the following scenarios:
| Callout | Scenario/Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Data exists within the past one week. | The value displays in Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds format. Example: 151 days 6h 49m 55s |
| Data does not exist. | Data not available for more than one week | |
| Resource does not have an UPTIME monitor applied. | No data available |
Monitored components
To retrieve live monitored components for the past one week, navigate to Infrastructure → Resources → Monitors → Monitors tab, then select Edit Metric Custom Notifications and Thresholds. In the Component Threshold category, click Fetch Monitored Components.
Interface graphs
Interface graphs display component metric data from the past one week only.
Navigate to Infrastructure → Network Device → Interfaces → interface name.
